Doxford Farm Camping

Doxford Farm Camping is located on a family-run working farm in Northumberland, within reach of the coast and some of the region's best sandy beaches. Owned by husband-and-wife team Katryna and John, the pair wanted to create a site that allowed visitors to experience the best the historic county has to offer with their loved ones, be that couples seeking a romantic getaway or families out for an adventure. Doxford ticks that box and then some, with its glamping pods providing that warm, rustic rural feeling and its bell tents situated in unspoilt countryside, both allowing access to miles of woodland walks and sunny days by the sea.

There are a variety of options here to suit most varieties of camper and glamper. Doxford's premium offering is its luxury pods, unique in their design with a vintage aesthetic teamed with modern touches. They have WiFi, a compact kitchen area and en-suite facilities and pets are welcome too if you're planing on bringing your dog for long walks on the beach.

If you're looking for a more affordable option, the bell tents let you experience the back-to-basics vibe of a campsite without the need to pitch a tent or blow up a mattress. Each bell tent also has an individual bathroom and a stove, ensuring you also have the necessary amenities. Or, if you're a seasoned camper with your own vehicle, there are also pitches here for caravans and motorhomes, with electric hook-up available – though tents are not permitted.

And once you're settled in, it's off to explore what Northumberland has to offer. The popular Beadnell Bay Beach, a horseshoe-shaped haven for swimming and watersports, is only a short drive away, as is the remote Longhoughton Beach and the secluded Spittal Beach. This is miles and miles of coast, presenting beautiful views of the North Sea encompassing a variety of landscapes. Then overlooking the coast is Dunstanburgh Castle, ruins dating back to the 14th century that can be reached by a scenic walk from the fishing village of Craster. Needless to say, you won't be stuck for things to do at Doxford.
